HC: What activities are you involved in on campus?
Daniel Khudyak: Brandeis Men’s Soccer team, ZBT, various clubs around campus such as the Mountain Club, etc.
HC: Is there an activity or event on campus that you have always wanted to do, but haven’t gotten the chance to do yet?
DK: Flonkerton.
HC: What is your best Brandeis memory?
DK: My friends and I went camping and made a bonfire; we made so many s’mores that I finally had to say, “No more s’mores, no more s’mores.”
HC: Do you have any advice for the incoming freshman, transfer, and midyear students?
DK: Know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.
HC: If you could go anywhere in the world without cost being an issue, where would you go?
DK: There are countless places I want to go all around the world and hopefully can cross some off my list when I study abroad next semester. My older sister has done an incredible amount of travelling, has had some especially ridiculous experiences with her husband recently, and I’m very jealous and plan to eventually follow in her footsteps. Right now I really want to hike Annapurna in the Himalayas. Also, if going to college didn’t come with a cost, that would be pretty amazing too.
HC: What is your ideal outing with friends?
DK: Bar, beers, buzzed. Wings, shots, drunk. Waitresses, hot. Football, Brandeis/Babson, slaughter. Then quick nap at my place, and we hit the tizzown.
